Reference Letters
A reference letter is a short correspondence written by people you've
selected to serve as your references. It describes your contributions and
value to the company. Typically, this letter is prepared on the person's
letterhead stationary.
Example:

To whom it may concern:
I would like to recommend Jane Doe for a position with your
organization. Jane has been employed by our company from 2001 to
2006.
During her employment with our company as Office Manager, Jane
was responsible for all activities associated with efficient
office operations including bookkeeping, collections, purchasing,
clerical tasks, and training/supervising three office
assistants.
Jane is extremely organized, possesses excellent written and
verbal communication skills, and works productively without
direct supervision.
I believe Jane Doe would make a valuable asset to any
employer and I am happy to happy to recommend her without
reservation.
Yours truly,
John Doe
